As you may be aware, Missouri has recently weakened its protections against discrimination (SB 43) and that caused the NAACP to issue a travel advisory for Missouri. ICFP believes in the inherent worth of every individual and is committed to providing a safe environment for conference goers. At the moment, there are no plans to relocate ICFP 2018 away from Missouri, but we are aware of the situation and will track changes. Please feel free to contact Robby Findler (the general chair) or anyone on the steering committee if you have any questions or concerns.
